Question Worth repairing?

Just curious of other peoples opinions on if my 1986 Toyota Celica is worth repairing. It needs a reconditioned gearbox, engine seals and rocker cover gasket and distributor o-ring. To recondition my gearbox it will cost $1800, and for the rest another $400. I payed $2500 for it about 2 weeks ago.

So what do other people think about my situation, sell it or repair it?
